Historic Profile

During upgrades of older buildings sometimes there is a need to match existing windows .  Prior to 1970 the only metal windows available were steel.  However until the early sixties galvanising systems were either very primitive or non-existent.  Usually the only metal protection preparation prior to painting was the application of a red lead primer.  Consequently many of our historic buildings fitted with steel windows now require some repair or replacement of the steel framing systems. 

Although it is not possible to hold every combination of steel framing profile Southern Steel windows do stock two other profiles previously used in the NZ market    which allows us to provide a range of options when called upon.
